In an effort to improve user experience and push growth, Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) is evaluating the possibility of introducing new mobile apps exclusive of its current messaging platform.

In its first analyst day on Wednesday, Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) has tackled important issues that sought to clarify the company’s position regarding its users, system innovation, e-commerce, and profitability. The networking site currently has 248 million monthly active users (MAU), and Twitter is looking into monetizing these users on or off platform.
